No complaints here with the progress of Cartwright. But on the basis we bought Eastwood and gave him two years. Should we allow Cartwright to go back and sign a true number one. I think we have to now if there's no interest in Eastwood.

persistent rumours, from before Xmas, that he wants to bring in an experienced keeper, so it wouldn't surprise me in the least. A confident, shouty keeper who organises and bawls out his defence might not be the worst signing to make

Really wanted Cartwright to become our long term keeper being a fan but unfortunately he’s not up to it

The solution to the dilemma is easy:

First, Artell must take Eastwood across the river, leaving Cartwright and the corn alone together on the starting side.

Then Artell goes back and gets Cartwright. When he takes Cartwright across the river, instead of leaving Cartwright alone with Eastwood, he swaps them out and takes Eastwood back to the starting side.

He then swaps Eastwood for the corn and brings it across, leaving Cartwright and the corn alone on the far side. Finally, he goes back to get Eastwood, bringing both keepers and the corn across the river without letting anything eat anything else.

I'm a little confused here. What exactly has Cartwright done wrong? I can only think of one or two of the 13 goals we've conceded in 2024 where he might have done a bit better and there was also masses of shite defending in the run up to those, so it's hardly his fault entirely.

It seems a few posters have been talking him down, but he's looked fine to me since he came into the team. I'd certainly trust him more than Eastwood who looks like he's going to crap a brick every time he's got the ball at his feet.

He made 15 saves against Mansfield. When you give away as many chances as we do then the keeper is bound to make mistakes. Teams ars creating chances every 2 to 3 minutes on average against us in many games.

Think you are confusing this with the foxes and hens?

How can you judge a keeper with that defence and mid field in front of them?

Doesn’t a competent keeper Marshall the defence but I do think he possibly needs a six shooter
